The Slovenians before the control match

The finals of the FIS Ski Jumping Grand Prix will take place this weekend at the large hill in Klingenthal, Germany, featuring ten Slovenian athletes across men's and women's categories. In the women's competition, Ema Klinec holds a 67-point lead over Japan's Yuki Ito after six rounds, giving her a strong chance to win the overall title and join fellow Slovenians Nika Vodan and Urša Križnar as past winners. The Slovenian women's team, coached by Jurij Tepeš, includes six jumpers who recently trained in Oberstdorf before moving to Klingenthal for Saturday's individual event and Sunday's mixed team trial. On the men's side, coach Robert Hrgota has selected four competitors, including Rok Oblak, who currently ranks 15th in the overall standings, and Timi Zajec, making his first international appearance since March. Japanese skier Naoki Nakamura has already secured the men's overall victory ahead of the final weekend. Both teams are scheduled to undergo mandatory checks of their competitive jerseys by the International Ski Federation (FIS) on Friday prior to the competitions.

Slovenian ski jumper Ema Klinec has secured the overall victory at the Summer Grand Prix, becoming the third Slovenian woman to win the title after Urša Bogataj and Nika Vodan. She achieved this feat with 363 points, finishing ahead of Poland’s Anna Twardosz, who scored 294, and Japan’s Yuki Ito, who accumulated 278 points despite not competing in the final. The season concluded in Klingenthal, Germany, where the weather was notably wet and windy, requiring organizers to pause the mixed team event for nearly 50 minutes due to strong gusts. The individual women's competition saw Norwegian Ingvild Midtskogen take the top spot on the final day. She set a new summer record for the hill with a jump of 142.5 meters in the first round. Midtskogen finished nine point two ahead of Slovenia’s Nika Prevc, who placed second. Another Norwegian, Eirin Kvandal, took third place. For the Slovenian squad, Nika Vodan finished fifth, while Taja Bodlaj shared 14th place with Klinec. Maja Kovačič placed 19th, and Katra Komar did not advance past the qualifying rounds, ending her run in 33rd position. In the men’s individual final, Norway’s Marius Lindvik claimed victory. He beat Japan’s Rino Nikaida and Poland’s Klemens Joniak by five point seven points. Joniak made his debut on the podium at this level of competition. The best result for the Slovenian men came from Timi Zajc, who finished eighth. This performance offered relief to the team, as last year’s overall winner, Domen Prevc, struggled significantly. Prevc started in 27th place after the first round but recovered to finish 14th. Anže Lanišek placed 17th, and Rok Oblak finished 20th. Overall, Japan’s Naoki Nakamura won the men’s general classification with 450 points. The following day, the Slovenian mixed team finished second behind Norway. The team consisted of Nika Vodan, Timi Zajc, Nika Prevc, and Domen Prevc. They collected 992.8 points, trailing the Norwegian winners, who amassed 1017.3 points. Japan took bronze with 983.9 points. The competition began with Nika Vodan jumping 125 meters for 108.2 points, placing Slovenia in second position early on. Only Midtskogen, who scored 125.4 points, jumped better among the women. Timi Zajc recorded the highest score in his group with a 135.5 meter jump worth 129.6 points. Nika Prevc landed at 127 meters for 114.9 points, securing the third-best result in her group. Domen Prevc jumped 136 meters to keep the team firmly in second place after the first series. Strong winds forced a long break before the second series could begin. Upon resumption, Nika Vodan extended her lead slightly with a jump two meters longer than her first, earning 135.6 points. Slovenia remained in second place after Zajc’s second jump of 128 meters, though Japan closed the gap dangerously. The Prevc siblings managed to hold off the Japanese challenge. Nika Prevc jumped 128.5 meters, and her brother Domen Prevc reached 135 meters, ensuring the silver medal. Coaches expressed satisfaction with the progress shown during the summer preparations. Jurij Tepeš, head coach of the women’s team, noted that the athletes were focused and delivered good jumps despite the difficult conditions. He stated that the team is on the right track heading into winter. Robert Hrgota, the men’s head coach, described the second-place finish in the mixed team event as a beautiful result, although he admitted the jumping technique is not yet at the desired level. He emphasized that the team has one month to prepare for the upcoming season. Individual athletes reflected on their performances. Nika Prevc called it her best Klingenthal ever, noting that she arrived from training in Oberstdorf with a higher level of readiness. She expressed satisfaction with her presentation despite minor errors. Nika Vodan described the race as heavy but was happy with the team’s second place, acknowledging there is still room for improvement. Timi Zajc rated his weekend performance a three or four out of ten, aiming to raise it to a five-plus through further training. Domen Prevc admitted he was not fully satisfied with his personal jumps but welcomed the team result. He looked forward to using the coming month to adjust equipment and reduce leg fatigue for the start of the winter season. The Winter World Cup will commence on November 20 in Lillehammer, Norway. The Slovenian teams plan to continue training, including sessions on ice skates, to maintain their form. The women’s national cup standings currently see Slovenia leading with 957 points, followed by Japan with 932 and Norway with 862. The transition from summer to winter preparation marks the end of the current competitive cycle, with all eyes turning toward the snow-covered hills of Scandinavia later this month.
